Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)." 20 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." 21 Say: "Verily, no one could ever protect me from God, nor could I ever find a place to hide from Him 22 excepting a Deliverance from God and His Messages. And whoso rebels against God and His messenger, for him there awaits the Fire of Gehenna; therein they shall dwell forever.' 23 Until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers. 24 Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period." 25 He is the Knower of the Unseen, and He does not disclose His Unseen to anyone 26 Except to His chosen Noble Messengers – so He appoints guards in front and behind him. (Allah gave the knowledge of the hidden to the Holy Prophet – peace and blessings be upon him.) 27 so that He may know that they have delivered the Messages of their Lord and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has counted everything in numbers' 28
